Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

We know that adding TUW and WUV will give TUV.

So you can substitute the given equations for each and form a lengthy equation

5x + 3 + 10x -5 = 17x - 16

Move all the variables to one side, and the constants to the other

5x + 10x - 17x = -16 - 3 + 5

Simplify!

-2x = -14

x = 7
